Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."
"End user can manage backup and recovery on its own efficiently once a product PC has failed during production."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."
"The solution is very simple, and management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
 

Cons

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are supported but not so successfully, it's a little shaky."
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"It is a low-cost solution."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Price-wise it's good."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
